I've started building a playlist of all the classical music used in Princess Tutu. You guys, I've only made through the second episode and THIS PLAYLIST IS ALREADY AN HOUR LONG. I can't even guess how long it'll be by the time I get to the end of Season 2.
SO MANY damn reasons to love Princess Tutu.
ETA: My playlist of the classical music used in the show is featured below. I was able to assemble it thanks to the entries under the "spot the reference" at
princesstutu. The entries in "spot the reference" also describe the scene when the song is featured, which I found helpful when I wanted to make sure the show was using the same song I was about to select from my music library. Fair warning, this list is REALLY LONG. I mention each song only under the episode in which it first appears, not in every episode where it's featured.
